## New and Noteworthy

Release [4.1](https://github.com/githubuser0xFFFF/Qt-Advanced-Docking-System/releases/latest) significantly improves the Auto-Hide functionality and also brings improvements
for Drag and Drop of dock widgets into dock area tabs. These are the highlights of the new version:

#### Drag & Drop to Auto-Hide

Now you can easily drag any dock widget or any floating widget to the
borders of a window to pin it as a auto-hide tab in one of the 4 sidebars.
If you drag a dock widget close the one of the four window borders, special
drop overlays will be shown to indicate the drop area for auto-hide widgets:

Of course, this also works with dock areas:

If you drag a dock widget or dock area into a sidebar, then you even have
control over where tabs are inserted. Simply drag your mouse over a specific
auto-hide tab, and your dragged dock widget will be inserted before this tab.
Drag to the sidebar area behind the last tab, and the dragged widget will be
appended as last tab. In the following screen capture, the **Image Viewer 1** will
be inserted before the **Table 0** Auto-Hide tab and the **Image Viewer 2**
is appende behind the last tab:

#### Auto-Hide Tab Insertion Order

It is also possible to drag Auto-Hide tabs to a new auto-hide position.
That means, you can drag them to a different border or sidebar:

#### Auto-Hide Tab Sorting

You can drag Auto-Hide tabs to a new position in the current sidebar
to sort them:

#### Auto-Hide Drag to Float / Dock

But that is not all. You can also simply move Auto-Hide tabs to another
floating widget or dock them via drag and drop:

#### Auto-Hide Context Menu

All Auto-Hide tabs now have a context menu, that provides all the functionality
that you know from Dock widget tabs. With the **Pin To...** item from the
context menu it is very easy to move an Auto-Hide tab to a different Auto-Hide
sidebar:

#### Dock Area Tab Insert Order

And last but not least the new version also improves the docking of widgets
into the tabs of a Dock area. Just as with Auto-Hide tabs, you can now determine the position at which a tab is inserted by moving the mouse over an already existing tab (insertion before the tab) or behind the last tab
(appending):
